[Postoperative radiotherapy with cetuximab for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients at high risk of recurrence not eligible for cisplatin: A single-center experience and literature review].

Purpose: The use of concurrent cetuximab with postoperative radiotherapy for patients with head and neck cancer has been scarcely discussed in the literature. The main aim of this study was to report clinical outcomes of high-risk head and neck cancer patients treated by postoperative radiotherapy with cetuximab.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2016, all medical records of patients operated for head and neck cancer who underwent postoperative radiochemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.

Recurrence of Pemphigus Vulgaris after Bilateral Breast Irradiation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Pemphigus is a serious and rare chronic bullous autoimmune disease. It is characterized by mucocutaneous erosions secondary to autoantibodies directed against desmogleins 1 and 3, proteins involved in intercellular adhesion mechanisms. The occurrence of pemphigus is based on the triggering of genetic and external environmental factors such as drugs, infection, and more rarely radiotherapy.

Efficacy and safety of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases using three fractions: A single-centre retrospective study.

Purpose: Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HFSRT) has become a standard of care for patients with a limited number of brain metastases (BM). An increasing number of linear accelerators (LA) are able to accurately perform HFSRT including VersaHD® (Elekta®) LA. The main aim of this study was to report clinical outcomes of BM treated by HFSRT using 3×7.

Prognostic Factors and Survival Score for Patients With Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study from a Regional Registry.

Background/aim: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the least common but most lethal of thyroid cancer, despite various therapeutic options, with limited efficacy. In order to help therapeutic decision-making, the purpose of this study was to develop a new prognostic score providing survival estimates in patients with ATC.

Patients And Methods: Based on a multivariate analysis of 149 retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with ATC from 1968 to 2017 at a referral center, a propensity score was developed.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy of a Solitary Metachronous Sphenoid Metastasis from Renal Cell Cancer: A Case Report.

Nasosinus metastases from kidney cancer are an unusual clinical presentation although some cases are reported in the literature. Among these cases, sphenoidal metastases are even rarer. Here we report a case of lone sphenoid metastasis in patients with papillary renal cell cancer.

A new model outperforming RPA and DS-GPA scores for individualized survival prediction of patients following whole brain irradiation for brain metastasis.

Purpose: Survival after whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in patients with multiple brain metastases (BM) is currently predicted by group-based scoring systems with limited usability for decision. We aimed to develop a more relevant individualized predictive model than Radiation Therapy Oncology Group - Recursive Partitioning Analysis (RTOG-RPA) and Diagnosis - Specific Graded Prognostic Assessment (DS-GPA) for patients with limited life-expectancy.

Methods: Based on a Discovery cohort of patients undergoing WBRT, multivariable piecewise Cox regression models with time cut-offs at 1 and 3 months were developed to predict overall survival (OS).

Primary gastric synovial sarcoma: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that is characterized by its unique histological pattern and is most commonly found near the joints of the extremity. Stomach involvement is very rare. This work aimed to present the case of a patient with gastric SS.

Cystic brain metastasis from prostate cancer: A case report and literature review.

Parenchymal brain metastases from prostate cancer are rare and mostly appear in the terminal phase of the disease. Here, we report a case of cystic cerebral metastases in patient with prostate adenocarcinoma. This patient presented with one large parietal polycystic tumor and three other suspicious-looking nodular lesions as shown on magnetic resonance imaging.

Adjuvant radiation therapy for malignant Abrikossoff's tumor: a case report about a femoral triangle localisation.

Background: Granular cell or Abrikossoff's tumors are usually benign however rare malignant forms concern 1 to 3% of cases reported. Pelvic locations are exceptional.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 43-years-old patient who had a benign Abrikossoff's tumor localized in the right femoral triangle diagnosed at the biopsy.
